HYANNIS — Five people were arrested Thursday after Barnstable police say they discovered a methamphetamine operation in an abandoned home on Mitchells Way.

At around 5:26 p.m. police were called to 77 Mitchells Way when a contractor reported he saw six people inside the abandoned home with what he thought were two handguns and two rifles or shotguns, police wrote in a statement.

The five people inside were detained and a search of the home produced several containers, equipment and ingredients typically associated with a meth lab, police wrote.

An investigation revealed that Angelina Daniel, 21, of Belleview, Florida, and Thomas Windle, 31, of Ocala, Florida, drove to Massachusetts in a stolen vehicle, broke into the home and set up the drug operation.

Police also found an airsoft shotgun and a container with fentanyl inside.

Windle, a former Hyannis resident, and Daniel were charged with receiving stolen property, breaking and entering in the daytime, furnishing a false name to police and trespassing. Windle also was charged with possession of fentanyl.

The other occupants in the house were identified as Brenda Nichols, 46, of Harwich, Michael Gregoire, 31, of Hyannis, and David Geoffrion, 35, of Brewster.

All three were charged with breaking and entering in the daytime and trespassing. Nichols also was charged with possession of crack cocaine.
